Course Description

In the course you will learn everything needed to install and configure a brand new Cisco ASA firewall with outbound internet access.

You will learn all commands needed to install the firewall.

In the first part of the course You will understand which required building blocks there are to get the firewall installed. For each step I will explain the reason, how it works and that there is to think about when configuring the Cisco ASA. This includes:

  • Console access

  • Interface configurations

  • Access-list theory and how to apply them.

  • Restricting and providing management access.

  • Network Address Translation (NAT)

  • DHCP in the Cisco ASA

  • Available hardware models.

  • Security levels.

In the second part of the course we will together configure a Cisco ASA 5505 from no configuration at all to outbound filtered and NAT:ed internet-access with DHCP and access-lists.

By the end of this course you will have a full knowledge of the different building blocks required to install a Cisco firewall.

I missed setting up the lab I missed having a topology so you know how the setup should be I also missed structure as I only had bits and pieces of the configuration then all of a sudden we configured nat then the whole config and the actual configuration.. overal a good course but it was to much all over the place..

Very educational, and easy (most of the time) to follow along. There were times I had to pause and rewind to better understand concepts, cause he moves pretty quick. I did appreciate that as the lectures progressed, he would take moments to pause and reexplain concepts he sped through. Overall, worth the few bucks to get yourself educated on the core basics of Cisco ASAs.

thank you jimmy for your effort, I enjoyed the course , but it was too basic and short, a lot of topics are missing. would love to get involved with a more advanced and professional course.

By Donald Porretto on 12/22/2018

I really enjoyed this course and got a lot out of it. Jimmy is very precise and thorough in the points that he covers. He presents the material in a very logical order and keeps you engaged. He hits all the bases for the beginner and intermediate student. He did such a good job on this course, that I bought all of his other courses as well.

By Wang Hua on 5/16/2018

The course is clear and useful. But the instructor speaks a bit too fast for the beginner to catch up, especially during the actual configuration. It's better to highlight the configurations that we need to look at. Please include the part on how to use GUI to configure the firewall.

By Gary Smith on 3/21/2018

Course was exactly what I needed, great overview on setting up a new Cisco ASA firewall. Only thing I would like, is a written copy of many of the commands Jimmy used. I found myself having to jump around the recordings so I could find the section covering the Cisco ios CLI commands.

Overall, the presentation was very good and his explanations were clear and applied to the real world. The only negatives are that I would have preferred more exercises and it did seem like the last 2 videos were done in a rush. This was definitely worthwhile training.

By Ron Ferriolo on 3/19/2017

This is a very good fundamental course which covers all of the basic configuration of the ASA. The function of all the command line configurations were clearly explained.

By Kevin Saddington on 5/3/2016

A good intro into fire walls I followed it almost to the end, but it gets a bit deep so I will have to re watch the last bit again cheers Jimmy. Third time watching, this time I am the proud owner of an ASA5505 the course made more sense with me playing alongside. Just about to do your ASA 5505 VPN course Ok watched it again got it this time
